Show HN: Hamilton – a no-internet Android health dashboard, named after my dog

Ngl, at least for me, an AI-generated logo is immediately off-putting, even if the app itself is actually great. Just taking a similar icon from something like The Noun Project would probably be better if you can't make one yourself or ask someone for it. (I understand the logo is of your dog! It's the specific ugly AI-generated style I'm talking about, not the contents)
I'm also not really sure on how this app is better than the other similarly vibecoded Health Connect dashboards which are open source and cost nothing:

Just the ones that come up when searching "health connect" on F-Droid, I'm sure there are more.
I hope this comment doesn't sound rude, sorry if it does

  Not rude at all. Fair on both counts.
  I could use a photo of Hamilton, but depending on grooming stage he veers between looking like a freshly clipped sheep or a scruffy mess. I'd have to grab him at exactly the right time. Plus I don't think I could get him to wear the headband.
  If the free ones do what you need, then they would be great choices. I guess my target market is people who don't even know F-Droid exists, or would rather stick to the Play Store.
  Plus none of those apps are dog-related.
